This request would probably be more for the Optware folks but I'd like to see something along the lines of a MoBlock style of IP blocking. MoBlock is similar to PeerGuardian but for Linux systems. It blocks IPs based on blocklists from the Blocklist Pro site. MoBlock will update itself with the most recent copy of the blocklist file hosted on their site.

I think this would be a cool feature to have for the blocklist to auto update itself within the router so that the entire network is protected rather than installing PeerGuardian or MoBlock on each individual computer or putting ipfilter.dat files in your torrent client. From what I understand Privoxy in the Optware package can somewhat accomplish this but not exactly in this manner.

There may already be a way of doing this and i'm just unaware…. Sorry if i'm just not aware of how to do this with the current way the firmware is. Please enlighten me if so.

I'm also not that familiar with Privoxy but i've checked http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/ to see if I can get more info. Maybe it can do this and i'm just not aware. I only use MoBlock and have never really used Privoxy.

Also I wanted to mention that I could understand the point of not wanting to associate your firmware with blocklists of this nature considering what they are commonly used for. However, maybe you could just implement an option where someone could manually enter their own link to a file hosted on a site of their choosing and the router could just be set to re-grab that file at an interval determined by the user. This way there is no direct association with any particular group or site.

The file would just have to be in the proper format. Then as the user I could point my router at the same link MoBlock uses for thier updates and that's my choice.

Another thing I considered is file size of some of these lists but having the RT-N16 I don't see this being an issue.

I smell blood. This looks like something that could be loaded with a startup script and could provide a country white list. Shame I've spent all these years drinking and chasing women when I should have been learning Linux.

I tried the pre-compiled MoBlock-ipq (along with the ip_queue.ko from the same ftp site) on my E3000, and got a segfault. When I run it again, there was no segfault, but all connections (in LAN and to WAN) were dropped. Any idea what to do? The following is dmesg output.

I also tried using iplist instead, but with no success (the router reboots or hangs). Has anyone made it work? I REALLY wish either we can have IP block feature built-in or someone can guide us how to integrate the feature.
